Bridesmaid Dress #3: Kirstin

6.23.2011

This one is for Kirstin, my fiancés little sister (well, not that little--21). We modeled the bodice of it after this J.Crew dress:

And of course gave it the same pleated skirt as the other two. I used this vintage reprint Butterick pattern, B4792. It's different construction than the J.Crew dress, but the same shape and look from afar.

Kirstin is 5'10," though, so I had to add some length to the bodice. Here's a look at how I lengthened it (this is the back piece):

Wonderful job! I'm so impressed with how you get all the dresses to fit so well. I have a hard enough time getting my own dresses to fit - I couldn't even begin to imagine making a dress for someone else. Especially a fitted on. Way to go!

Oh my gosh! Will you make me one!? I mean, after your wedding is over. And your future Sis-in-law is gorgeous! Excuse the shallowness, but between you and your bridesmaids, you are going to have beautiful wedding photos!
